You're tired. You're hungry. You're thirsty. You just want to find something to watch and unwind only to find not only do you have too many games to choose from on any given night to watch, there is an entire catalog of shows and movies you can barely keep up on. When did our weekends turn into so much work?Let's make it simple. Here is what you want to eat, this is what you want to drink and this is what you want to watch over the next 48 hours or so of "freedom" you have in your life. Maybe. We have to start getting the taxes ready. Why is the weather getting nicer just as tax season hits? Does this mean we get out of having to do yard work this weekend? Why does every plant around the house already need trimmed? This can't be our entire Saturday. No. We need to get some fun in. Let's plan ahead and figure out what is going to offer us the most amount of fun with our limited free time this weekend of March 3, 2017.Eat Remember a few weeks ago when we told you Taco Bell had announced t03 Mar 2017 00:58:00 -0500http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/eat_drink_watch_fight_weekends_are_always_fun/s1_13132_23367436

I guess it's fitting that I'm now with the Stones. Either way I was just a roadie setting up the stage for both teams."
That was Steve Kerr's response to Rick Carlisle's comparison between the Rolling Stones and the must-see attraction that is this year's Golden State Warriors. But while the Rolling Stones certainly had a few momentous years, they've prospered off 50 years of longevity together. They're still out there performing for thousands of excited dads.
The Warriors are on the verge of the most impressive season in NBA history, and yet their future might end up being more historic than their present. Their core of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson would have seemed an unlikely dynasty even two years ago, but combining their likelihood of continued dominance with the opportunity to keep that core intact could lead to those three players becoming more successful than any trio in the modern NBA.
It's first worth looking at why Golden State will have an o24 Mar 2016 17:13:09 -0400http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/could_the_warriors_39_future_be_more_historic_than_their_present/s1_8276_20546785

Yesterday, the National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes elected to open the Horseshoe gates to a Rolling Stones concert, the first time the stadium had played host to a concert in roughly 12 years.
As many would expect, the Rolling Stones drew a fantastic crowd generating roughly $600,000 in profit for the Buckeyes, according to Evan Weese of BizJournals.com.
Ohio State vice president of university and business advancement Xen Riggs informed Columbus Business First about the university’s decision to host the event and benefits of the concert.
“What you have to remember is, the ‘show’ didn’t end until Tuesday, with labor bills,” he said. “(Profit) is probably north of $600,000. I don’t know if I was expecting (any amount) in particular, (but) we’re very happy. That’s probably the range we would hope for.”

According to recent reports, Georgia Tech is set to host a concert from the legendary rock band at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
The stop in Atlanta will come in June.
It is certainly an interesting development, but there is a very good reason for Bobby Dodd Stadium to host the concert.
According to Georgia Tech athletic director Mike Bobinski, the concert will generate plenty of revenue for the athletic program. Bobinski expects the program will generate approximately $250,000 in revenue.
CBS Sports writes, “Bobinski says that sum could represent half the money the school will need to come up with to meet the new cost of attendance scholarships it will be required to give to its student athletes.”
Kudos to Georgia Tech for coming up with a creative way to come up with revenue for the athletic program. If the event is successful, we can expect to see even more schools looking to do the same.
